CITIZENS INVITED TO PREVIEW AND PROVIDE INPUT ON THE NEW WEBSITE

For Release: November 27, 2014

The Website Project Steering Committee is pleased to invite residents of Saskatoon to preview the new City of Saskatoon website and provide feedback. Users will be able to see the website’s new structure and some of the new features planned for the full launch. And for the first time, users will be able to experience a version of the City’s website on mobile, tablet and desktop devices.

“Residents have already participated in a number of surveys and online exercises during various stages of development, which has proven valuable in guiding decisions and priorities for the new website,” says Rob Gilhuly, Project Manager.  “If we want a site that residents find easy to use, we know we have to consult with users on decisions that affect the experience. And we know we have to have those consultations at every step along the way.”

Using feedback obtained from residents during various engagement activities, the navigation system has been completely redesigned, providing users with the experience they said they wanted and needed. 

“With the amount of input we’ve been able to gather, this has really felt a like a collaboration with residents,” says Gilhuly.

The new Saskatoon website is scheduled to replace the existing site in January. In December, we encourage residents to visit new.saskatoon.ca to preview the new website and to provide feedback.
